FEATURES OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE COMMUNICATIVE STRATEGY OF SELF-DEFENSE IN GERMAN POLITICAL DISCOURSE

Abstract

The objective of this study is to identify tactics and linguistic means of representing the communicative strategy of self-defense in German political discourse based on the minutes of the meetings of the Bundestag of the last convocation in the period from September to October 2024. The conducted research makes it possible to supplement the existing classifications of tactics, identify their characteristic linguistic means and structures, and determine their functional potential. It should be emphasized that under self-defense, the work considers, first of all, the defense of their position by representatives of the ruling parties in the face of the opposition, in particular, on such key issues as budget policy and internal security of Germany. Of particular interest are the identified linguistic means, structures and rhetorical techniques, which, nevertheless, require further, deeper study to clarify their functional potential in relation to specific tactics in order to create a corpus of means for the successful implementation of self-defense, protection of one’s opinion.
